Horrible, horrible pick
Par for the course for the Falcons, though. |

What a shock, you're going to excuse his ethical lapses I'll take his number of suspensions, you take his number of pro bowls, we'll see which one ends up with the bigger number.

I don't disagree. The problem with McFadden has always been in his company. If you think I'm the only saying this, by the way, then you A) don't know the stories very well, B) haven't been paying attention to the experts even this morning who have said as much. I'm sure those paternity suits are not going to be much of a factor. |

What a shock, you're going to trot the old "of course you'd defend him" line because you have no leg to stand on. His "ethical" lapses are nothing of the sort and will have no effect on his football career. Again, this how teams miss out on big talents in these drafts. edit: and I'd take that bet on the pro bowls/suspensions in a heartbeat. Last edited by MJ4H : 04-26-2008 at 02:25 PM. |

I agree with the character issues being non-issues, but I haven't heard any experts call him the best RB to ever come through the draft. He certainly is the best this year. Have any links to where they call him the best to ever come through the draft? edit: or even one of the best RB's to ever come through the draft.

By the way, am I the only one that gets motivated to play about 10 seasons of FOF every draft weekend?

See Cronin, didn't I tell you all along in your mock drafts that the Falcons would go QB? Had to be tough for them not to go Dorsey there though really, but it just made more sense with a new coach to go with a QB he wanted rather than what was left behind. Hope it works out for Atlanta and Ryan. He seems like a really good young man, and Atlanta sure could use some good news for a change.

Along with virtually every person who has written about the guy for months. I love this quote in particular, where one scout said "McFadden has elite football character" Haven't I seen that phrase in another football player thread here earlier today?

Agreed. I hated the start time (and having the first 4 picks essential confirmed before the broadcast) but I love the 10 minutes per pick as the flow is much better. |

I have absolutely no problem standing on the basis of the facts. -- His involvement in his brother's nightclub incidents is a character issue -- Having children by three different women (or two if the first is lying) is a character issue -- Having to be sued over paternal responsibilities is a character issue. And this isn't the first time we've seen you reveal your own lack of character defending the indefensible simply because Hawg U is involved.

did KCC turn down the 10th, a 2nd this year and a 1st next year from NOS? seemed like a fair offer for a team completly rebuilding

I really wish they wouldn't show the guy celebrating on the phone before the pick is made. It totaly kills any suspense there may be.

I could sit here and take your shit, but the fact is you don't have a fucking clue. You are wrong about this and you were wrong about Bobby Petrino. Frankly I don't give a shit whether you like it or not. It is amusing to watch you shit your pants whenever you get challenged on an issue though. Particularly one where you clearly don't know as much about as others involved. Keep tossing the shit around though. |

I'm withholding judgment until No. 17. If Clady falls to there as some project, we'll be on our way to that A grade. I'm afraid we're going to take Branden Albert if he's there -- and taking a college guard and making him a tackle isn't a good idea.

Not really annoying, no. We all knew it was coming for the biggest part of the season. These guys are both stars and we got a lot of good out of them (though most of the "good" was just prolonging Nutt's tenure rather than any real good). We are mostly happy to see them making good. |

MJ4H -- Not only am I not wrong about any of those things, but I also wasn't wrong when I correctly nailed your lack of character during the Petrino incident.
You are precisely what I knew you were - devoid of character and a truly pathetic excuse for a human being.

Even if Albert "only" ends up as a guard, that will still be a solid pick, in my opinion. |

No real surprises in the first six picks, maybe just some question about the order of Dorsey/Gholston/Long. New England begins the real question marks.

And you are precisely what I knew you were. An asshole that can't stand someone pointing out why they are wrong. Notice that you are the one that started making this personal. Notice that you haven't rebutted any of the counterpoints I made to your points. Also notice that since you can't actually discuss anything brought up intelligently without turning it into a personal attack douchebag conversation, you are permanently ignored, and I hope you choke on your own crusty cigarette smoked black lungs you fucking prick.

But a first round pick on a guard? Not sure I can live with that value. I just can't see taking even the best interior o-linemen in the first round, especially when both RT and LT are disasters.

So I can't find a channel here that's showing it. Fuck this late start time.
Whenever I refresh NFL.com's live tracking, picks are sometimes missing, then show up, then disappear. Great going NFL. |

Agreed, but even sure thing OTs can be busts. You give Albert a shot at LT for two seasons, but if he isn't up to it, you hope he can be a solid OG starter (I know the Steelers love him as an OG). |
